The  "Daneway  House”  Ceiling  and  wall  treatments  exhibit  English  plaster  work  in 
the  full  bloom  of  its  free  and  most  romantic  period.  The  leisurely 
charm  and  naive  grace  of  that  age  are  well  expressed  in  this 
reproduction,  recently  installed  in  our  showrooms. 


FOREWORD 


PART  I 


q/HE  generous  appreciation  and  acceptance  accorded  to  its 
predecessor,  "A  Book  of  Old  English  Designs”,  has  encouraged  us  to 
publish  this  enlarged,  more  complete  edition.  As  in  the  first  volume, 
the  aim  is  to  widen  the  appreciation  and  use  of  Old  English  plastic 
motives  with  both  architects  and  public. 

Our  problem,  as  we  see  it  after  more  than  thirty-seven  years  of 
happy  endeavor  in  our  chosen  craft,  is  more  than  mere  mechanical 
perfeaion  in  the  execution  of  the  orders  and  contracts  with  which  we 
are  favored.  We  are  conscious  of  a  responsibility  to  the  tradition  of 
the  long  succession  of  plaster  workers,  by  whom  the  art  of  plaster  was 
developed,  from  the  early,  primitive  parge  work  of  Elizabethan 
England  through  the  intricacies  of  18th  Century  design. 

In  recreating  notable  examples  of  the  work  of  these  master  crafts¬ 
men,  we  have  always  felt  it  our  duty,  first  to  choose  with  taste  and 
discrimination  the  models  to  follow,  and  then  to  reproduce  so  faithfully 
the  detail  and  spirit  of  the  original  designs  as  to  make  it  difficult  to 
differentiate  between  replicas  and  originals. 

As  in  the  past,  we  are  publishing  this  book  in  the  hope  that  it  may 
be  of  inspirational,  as  well  as  of  praaical,  value.

Suggestion  for  Tudor  house  exterior.  Cast  cement  ornament  set  in  stucco  to  reproduce

MONO  the  Elizabethan  and  Tudor  houses  still  extant  in  England 


CEMENT  PARGETING 


are  many  examples  illustrating  the  possibilities  of  ornament  in 
exterior  design.  In  recent  years  American  architects  have  used  this 
rough,  almost  primitive  type  of  modeling,  in  small  houses  with  rare 
effect. 


Originally  the  figures  were  hand-modeled  in  place  by  the  plaster 
workers  of  the  period.  Today  the  same  effect  can  be  achieved  more 


simply  and  cheaply  by  casting  the  ornament  in  cement  for  insertion 
in  stucco. 

The  possibilities  for  interesting  variety  of  detail  in  this  treatment 
are  almost  unlimited.  Sometimes  a  frieze  can  be  introduced  over  a 
doorway,  a  design  under  a  prominent  gable,  or  sometimes  just  a  few 
figures  introduced,  apparently  at  random,  in  the  surface  of  the  stucco. 

All  of  the  designs  listed  in  this  catalogue  can  be  cast  in  cement  for 
exterior  use  at  prices  somewhat  higher  than  those  listed  for  plaster 
reproduction.  Our  estimating  department  is  always  glad  to  figure 
costs  of  specific  designs,  or  to  give  the  approximate  cost  of  this  treat¬ 
ment  when  the  size  of  the  areas  is  indicated.

ORNAMENTAL  WALL  SURFACE 


This  plaster  wall  surface,  composed  of  parge  ornaments,  arranged  geometrically,  is  one 
method  of  obtaining  an  interesting  background.  The  relief  of  the  ornament 
is  sufficiently  low  to  make  it  practical.  An  effective  example  of 
this  may  be  seen  in  our  new  showrooms.

DISTINGUISHED  CEILING  TREATMENTS 

"y  i  IITH  the  spread,  in  recent  years,  of  a  wider  interest  in  authentic 
/  //  /  period  designs,  ceilings,  especially  those  in  private  residences, 
have  acquired  a  new  importance.  In  the  past,  the  surfaces  above  rooms 
were  too  often  left  bare  and  unappealing.  In  contrast  to  the  variety 
and  color  of  walls  and  floors,  as  well  as  the  carefully  reproduced  or 
genuine  antique  furniture  and  accessories. 

All  the  great  European  periods  of  design  had  their  characteristic 
ceiling  treatments.  This  is  especially  true  of  the  English  periods — 
Elizabethan,  Tudor,  William  and  Mary,  Queen  Anne  and  Georgian 
— the  styles  which  people  of  culture  have  recently  favored  in  the  plan¬ 
ning  and  decoration  of  their  homes.  In  most  of  these  styles  ornamental 
plaster  ceilings  are  almost  necessary  to  preserve  the  spirit  of  the  whole. 

And  what  rich,  warm  rooms  can  be  created  through  the  use  of 
appropriate  ceiling  decoration!  Here  pictured  are  a  few  of  the 
authentic,  geometric  ceilings  which  it  has  been  our  privilege  to  re¬ 
create  from  famous  originals,  in  some  cases  preserved  in  British 
museums.  Each  is  a  pure  example  of  the  period  it  represents,  and 
each  can  be  adapted  by  our  staff  designers  and  draftsmen  to  rooms  of 
any  dimensions.

PART  III 

WODDk^ST 


OODKAST  is  the  name  we  have  given  to  this  imitation  wood,  in  many  respects  the 
most  practical  of  all  compositions  developed  in  our  forty  years’  experience. 

Imitation  is  perhaps  the  wrong  word  to  use.  In  the  real  beauty  of  its  grain,  the  century-old 
color  and  mellowness  it  possesses,  Woodkast,  when  finished,  simulates  genuine  paneling,  either 
new  or  old,  in  any  open  grained  wood,  with  startling  likeness. 


In  one  case,  where  genuine  old  wood  paneling  was  not  of  sufficient  length  to  cover  entirely 
a  certain  room,  Woodkast  panels  were  made  to  supply  the  deficiency.  Today,  after  several  years, 
it  is  almost  impossible  to  tell  where  the  real  wood  paneling  stops  and  where  the  Woodkast 
begins,  so  accurately  has  the  grain  and  color  of  the  wood  been  matched. 

This  material  has  been  developed  with  the  needs  of  modern  fireproof  construction  in  mind. 
It  is  absolutely  non-inflammable — disintegrates  under  blow-torch  test  only  where  the  blue  flame 
touches  the  cast.  It  is  hard  and  yet  resilient.  Under  equal  conditions  of  usage  it  proves  as  dura¬ 
ble  as  wood. 


In  cost,  Woodkast  makes  possible  enormous  savings.  It  figures  one-third  to  one-quarter 
the  cost  of  carved  wood  paneling,  and  often  makes  possible  a  wood-carved  effea  when  the  cost 
of  genuine  hand-carving  would  be  prohibitive. 

Woodkast  has  come  into  widest  use,  however,  in  replacing  wood  wainscoting  where  fire 
laws  do  not  permit  the  use  of  real  wood  regardless  of  cost.  For  radiator  grilles,  organ  screens, 
window  display  backgrounds,  too,  it  is  practical  and  effective. 

We  have  on  hand,  ready  to  use,  a  number  of  designs,  many  of  them  reproduced  from 
authentic  examples  of  fine  old  wood  carving.  In  addition,  new  models  can  be  made  up  for  a 
nominal  charge.  This,  in  case  we  have  nothing  in  hand  that  will  exactly  suit  the  job. 

Woodkast  paneling  can  be  supplied  with  any  width  stile  desired,  so  that  the  panels  illus¬ 
trated  in  this  booklet  can  be  evenly  spaced  into  a  room  of  any  dimensions  by  varying  the  width 
of  the  stile. 

As  each  room  presents  special  conditions,  shop  drawings  are  furnished  as  a  guide.  After 
it  is  installed  and  thoroughly  dried,  a  thin  coat  of  white  shellac  must  be  applied,  and  thereafter 
it  is  treated  in  the  same  manner  as  wood. 

In  our  New  York  showrooms  are  several  distinguished  examples  of  wall  paneling  and  ceil¬ 
ing  beams  done  in  Woodkast  to  simulate  old  wood.  Your  inspection  at  any  time  is  cordially 
invited. 

We  have  cast  and  finished  a  number  of  Woodkast  samples,  one  of  which  we  will  gladly 
forward  on  request.
